Title: 200+ Slots
Post by: MrSt3fan on December 10, 2013, 09:31:39 am
This is more of a scripting question but since there's no scripting forum section I'll ask it here.

Does anyone know how to get more than 200 slots? I would love to host a somewhat bigger event and I have seen 200+ servers so it must be possible.

Thanks in advance !

It's done through memory editing the Mount & Blade: Warband server executable, this was pretty much the norm before NW got released. Napoleonic Wars unfortunately isn't as well optimized as Native or Mount & Musket and pushes the limits on the aging engine. There were numerous stress tests prior to Napoleonic Wars being released, and anything above 200 slots was incredibly unstable (latency) to the point where it would crash quite quickly after it got populated above around 218 players. This was presumably the reason why it was released with the 200 slot cap and not 256.

A 200+ slot event would be awful. Most servers start to lag at about 180-200 players so with 250 I can imagine it being a complete lag fest.

Especially on one of Penn's servers.  ;D
